“The guitar work of Steve Ramsdell is a wonder throughout this session; he plays in a number of styles and his solos display clean articulation and ideas.”

Micheal P. Gladstone, All About Jazz

“Steve Ramsdell's acoustic guitar adds a soulful presence...”

Jim Santella, All About Jazz

“Within mostly ethereal settings, Ramsdell creates intriguingly angular phrases, offers warmly contemplative solos and inspires exquisite lyric phrases.  In all, a strong showing from an up-and-coming instrumentalist.”

Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

“...Never selling short on intellect, sensitivity and passion for detail...the thinking man's guitarist...mixing classical and jazz sensibilities and holding his own thing together.”

John MacCalkies, New City Chicago

“Steve has that rare quality of playing only what's necessary to express himself, never overplaying.”

David Bloom,
Founder, Bloom School of Jazz, Fire and
Form Music

“What a sound: Scott's flute, airy but soulful, interwoven with Ramsdell's Spanish guitar, all dappled light and earth-tones.  It's a sound that floats off the ground but below the trees, deceptively close and tantalizingly just out of reach.”

Neil Tesser, Jazz Critic Playboy Magazine,
columnist for Jazziz magazine,
contributor to Jazz Times magazine

“The delicious sound of the alto flute with the guitar is a perfect match for the quiet and moving interpretations and improvisations, particularly on the Latin pieces…I like it.”
